The Handler is a handheld keyboard project launched in 2022 that features eight keys designed for custom mapping and programming. It caters to developers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in building specialized input devices.

  Pornpen.ai – AI-Generated Porn▲711

  Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images. This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is fine-tuned further. If the servers are overloaded, take a look at the feed and search pages to look through past results. For comments/suggestions/feedback please visit…
